"Babson College, located in Wellesley, ranked second overall on the list, a spot it also held last year. To determine the rankings, The Wall Street Journal looked at the salaries of alumni and financial success preparation. "This recognition underscores what we in Greater Boston already know - our region is a global hub for innovation, and Babson is proud to stand at its heart," Babson College President Stephen Spinelli wrote in a statement."
"Freshmen are given a loan of up to $3,000 to start their own business, and seniors are required to pitch an entrepreneurial idea as part of their capstone class, the Wall Street Journal noted. Spinelli told the newspaper, "That has a real impact on how they view all the other courses they take. They're going to be thinking about: How is this going to help me find opportunities and create business models so that value can come from this?""
"Stanford University reclaimed the top spot on the list for the first time since 2017. Coming in third and fourth place were Yale and Princeton, respectively. Rounding out the top 10 for New England, Harvard University ranked fifth. Beyond the top 10, MIT came in 11th and Bentley University at 12th. The next Bay State college on the list is Amherst College at 60th."
Babson College ranked first in Massachusetts and second nationally on a new list of best colleges, with rankings based largely on alumni salaries and financial-success preparation. Babson emphasizes entrepreneurship through programs that include freshmen loans up to $3,000 for starting businesses and a senior capstone that requires pitching an entrepreneurial idea. The college integrates entrepreneurial thinking across coursework so students evaluate how classes contribute to opportunity creation and business-model development. Stanford reclaimed the top national spot; Yale and Princeton placed third and fourth. Harvard ranked fifth in New England, MIT eleventh, Bentley twelfth, and Amherst sixtieth.
